This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $722,109 to Brown University to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms and meaning of brain rhythm frequency shifts during decision-making.
The research investigates how the brain's prefrontal cortex uses beta oscillations at different frequencies to transmit decision-making information. The study involves computational modeling and experimental neurophysiology in humans and animals to better understand the cellular and circuit-level dynamics underlying this neural process. This cross-disciplinary project has the potential to provide insights into the brain mechanisms underlying decision-making and categorization, with implications for understanding disorders like Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia. The 5-year project period began on March 1, 2025.
